Volume Control

There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and Other

Hardware, and then click Add Hardware.

This program will now close.

 OK

Thanks.

Hello There Adam,

My suggestion is maybe you haven't assign a mixer that will play all the sounds on your computer. Try to go to control panel > sound,speech and audio devices >sound and audio devices. A window will appear, look for the audio tab and set the audio device default device. Click apply and ok.

Hope this will help you solve your problem

This error usually comes up when you have not installed an appropriate driver for your sound device. I would assume that you have a copy of the drivers included when you bought your PC, so try running it. If this still does not work, seek your local tech provider for support.
